Designer Series Paper

08/10/2012

I want to say, "See Dick and Jane go to school", when I use this stamp set! I'm dating myself:) This set is perfect for the new Storybook Designer Series Paper. If you are planning to make teacher gifts or do a school scrapbook page, this paper is a must!

Don't you love the name of this paper: Howlstooth & Scaringbone! Sounds like something out of Harry Potter:) This fun paper and lots of other Halloween products are in our Holiday Mini Catalog, which begins on August 1. If you haven't received a copy, email me and I will send you one.

Can you see the paper piercing detail? It is made with one of the new Piercing Packs. The Piercing Pack comes with several paper piercing shape. They are easy to do with the new Stampin' Piece Mat and Paper-Piercing Tool.

Here's another "z" card. I've been making alot of these lately. It's so easy with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool (#122334). Lay the cardstock with the long edge at the top. Score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" all the way down. Then cut it on the 8 1/2" side at 4 1/4. Just fold in a "z"!! Now you have 2 card bases!

I used a base of Whisper White. The front panel is 2 1/2" x 4" and the back polka layer is 3 1/2 x 4". Both are from the Summer Smooches Designer Series paper. The cute little flowers are from the Bright Blossoms stamp set in the Summer Smooches collection. I stamped the leaves in Lucky Limeaide and the flower in Real Red. I punched them out with the 1" square punch and backed them with Real Red punched with the Postage Stamp punch. The "laughter" saying is from the Word Play set.

I recommend getting the Bright Blossoms stamp set in clear (#125497). There are a lot of little pieces that require lining up. It's easy when you can see through the clear stamp. What a great idea that is:)

The Summer Smooch collection can be seen on my On-Line Store. This collection is a sneek peek from the upcoming Idea Book and Catalog. These products are available until April 30, then you will not be able to purchase them again until July 1.

The Mini Occasions Catalog is open until April 30. This card is from the Sweet Shop Product Suite. I made a "z" fold for this card.

The base is Whisper White cut 4 1/4 x 11". It is scored and folded at 5 1/2". Score the front panel at 2 3/4" and fold in a "z" as shown. I cut a piece of the Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper at 2 1/2 x 4" for the left side panel and 3 x 4" for the right side panel. The embellishment on the front was made using the Label Collections Framelits cut with Blushing Bride. The birthday cake is a sticker from the Sweet Shop Designer Stickers. I wrapped some of the baker's twine around the front. It is a very fast and simple card.

Here's a similar cards using different stickers. I really like this card fold. It is easy, but makes a card that is different from the ordinary card fold!

I have shown this idea before, but I thought it was a great one to show with products from the Sweet Shop Suite.

This candy holder is made with the Two Tags Die for the Big Shot (#115954) I cut two of the tags from the Sweet Shop Desginer Series Paper and then folded them on the score line (it scores automatically when you cut). I then glued the two ends together and cut an 3/4" strip of coordinating paper and glued it on the middle of the tags. The handle was made by punching first with the large oval punch, and then I centered the punched oval with the Extra-Large Oval. I glued the handle inside and then held the tags together with one of the Jelly Bean Brads (#125587). This little treat holder will hold 2 Hersey Nuggets. I also wrapped them with a small strip of coordinating paper. Just use a little adhesive on the bottom to hold them inside the candy holder, since the sides are open.

You can use these for all different occasions. Just change the paper. This Sweet Shop would be cute for a birthday party, the Nursery Nest Designer Series Paper (#122347) would be adorable for a baby shower!

This is a card I made with two of the new products in the Occasions Mini: Mixed Bunch stamp set and the Blossom Punch.

I like these two products because you can change the look by using different ink colors, stamps, and papers. I will post another picture a the end showing a card we made last night at stamp club using these same products, but different paper, ink, etc.

On this card, I used two strips from the Twitterpated Designer Series paper. I then added a strip of Blushing Bride, which I embossed with the hearts from the Adorning Accents and cut a scallop border using the Edgelit Dies.

The flower is stamped in Baja Breeze with a center punched in Blushing Bride and a Baja Breeze button from the Twitterpated desginer buttons. The leaves are loops of Pear Pizazz satin ribbon. I stamped a greeting for a baby shower (since I need a shower card), however, I think this would be a pretty Easter card!

Here's another card using the Everyday Enchantent Designer Series Paper and brads, which you can get Free through the Sale-a-bration promotion! See what I mean? It has a totally different look while using the same stamp set and punch!

This card is made with some of the products in the Sweet Shop Product Suite beginning on page 32 of the Occasions Mini. The colors are bright and whimsical and perfect for all celebrations.

The base of the card is Pool Party. I put a strip of the Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper on the front and then cut out a label of the candy print from this DSP using the new Labels Collection Framelit Dies. The Framelit Dies are perfect for layering and making frames. I attached this piece over the strip and then layed the card flat on Tab 2 of the Big Shot and cut with a smaller Labels Collection Framelit die. Just make sure you card is open when you do this, otherwise, you will cut a hole in the back of the card!

The "Celebrate" greeting is from one of the new Sale-a-bration stamp sets, which you can earn FREE during Sale-a-bration, which begins Wednesday, January 24!

The greeting on the front is from the same stamp set. It also contains a brad from the Jelly Bean Brads (#125587), which is also in the Sweet Shop Product suite. You can see all these fun products here:Sweet Shop Product Suite

I used a card base of Pool Party and scalloped the front edge using the Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies #125595. What a fast way to cut a border!

I cut a 1 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch piece of Sweet Shop Designer Series paper and put it under the scallop edge. Isn't it adorable paper? The 6 squares were punched with the Postage Stamp punch #122344. The plain ones were put through the Lattice Square Embossing Folder and the 3 Whisper White squares were punched with the 1" square punch and Designer Stickers from the Sweet Shop Designer Stickers #125584 were used for "sweet" decorations. Aren't they cute? It is a very fast and easy card. The saying is from the PS I Love You stamp set, punched with the Modern Label punch and the ends have Calpyso Coral Baker's Twine #125573 wrapped around them. Can you believe all the fun products in this Occasions Mini catalog?

Here is another card made with the Nursery Nest Designer Series Paper (DSP).

We took a piece of Whisper White and glued one inch wide strips of the DSP in different patterns to the card stock and then put it through the Big Shot using the Top Note die. The medallion was made with the cupcake punch. The frosting was embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder.

To make the card making go quickly, we made up several medallions before assembling the cards. They were made with the cupcake, owl and bird builder punches. As we made the cards, we just added a medallion. I didn't add greetings to most of mine, because I thought I would add them as needed. It is a great way to make cards quick and easy!
